The time is long overdue for school teachers throughout this nation to teach not only the historical facts about Abraham Lincoln, but also those about Jefferson Davis.

don’t they mean “revered”?
Do you have fathers who fought with the Confederate States of America?
Sons of Confederate Veterans

Your puerile comments reveal in you a shallow understanding of the Confederacy and her history.
Do some homework.
Hurricane Katrina devastated the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and washed away many historical documents and artifacts. I’m glad that it has been restored.
The question is not if but why...a man can kill for just or unjust reasons...a war can be fought for just or unjust reason..a revolution can be waged for a just ore unjust reasons...a state can leave the union for a just or unjust reason
We hear over and over about the south fighting for “The Cause” well the reason IS the cause...
So what was the reason for the southern states leaving the union..Lincoln being elected seem to be be the last straw that trigger it all..why?..well read Lincoln first inaugural speech to get his idea of why
Because im of the opinion that WHOEVER won in 1860 the war would of still happening because if the south had got what they wanted at the Federal level the northern states would of left the union...and the south wanted the federal power imposed on the north
So the question is not if..but why..tell us the reason why
The patriotism of Hank Williams, Jr. is unquestionable and his song, If The South Would Have Won (We'd Have it Made) is worth a listen.
I tend to think Lincoln was the “traitor” Along with some of his top command. Just because he was victorious doesn’t make him right.Much like the government we have right now.They have a lot of power at the moment, but that doesn’t make them patriots, or “right”.
My next door neighbor, a Tea Party Patriot, and I always look forward to tweaking him, most recently on Earth Day, when we turn on all the lights, run our lawnmowers and he keeps his motorcycle roaring in the driveway. Earlier this year, we had a great time on MLK day by flying our Confederate flags, along with the Texas and American flags. He was fuming!
Our work must be paying off. His daughter is a cheerleader at high school and speaks with a Southern accent. She also convinced him to attach a flagpole to his house, which as of recently, now sports both Old Glory and the Texas flag.
...and a little child will lead them... -- Isaiah 11:6When he removes that stupid COEXIST bumper sticker from his clown car, we know we're on our way toward a conversion!
“Slavery was evil. Buying and selling human beings like cattle was evil. The Confederacy was evil.”
So you share those feelings of hatred of the South with those States in the North that held slaves at the time of the War of Northern Aggression, or are you just a liberal bigot?
“Slavery was evil. Buying and selling human beings like cattle was evil. The Confederacy was evil.
Enslaving human beings, be it Marxism, Nazism, Islam, or the Confederacy is evil.”
Since you think slavery is evil I guess you are also hating on black people since it was a black man named Anthony Johnson that created the first black slave in 1654, another black man named John Casor. That’s right, the colonies had no slaves until the blacks created them.
looks like the Chess Pie my Grndma used to make
A big difference was that Houston opposed secession of Texas, while Davis only opposed secession in '45 when the Massachusetts legislature voted for secession over Texas statehood.
My grandfather gggf ggggf all have the first and middle name Jefferson Davis.
No argument there. Treating human beings like cattle is evil no matter who does it. Including, no doubt, some of my ancestors.
Period.
Gee wizz...how profound your statement.
Pretty sure you'd have donned a blue uniform.
We have endearing stories of black mammies who cared for the children, sang them songs before bedtime and the like.
All the horror stories of evil plantation owners were broad brushed to include all those who did not mistreat the negro. For heaven's sake, there is so much misinformation regarding this period.
Even after the slaves received emancipation, states such as Delaware STILL held slaves...I'm pretty sure Delaware aligned with the North folks.
On a different note, history books have been scrubbed and rewritten to include the progressive perversion of events.
Not many folks were taught that even Lincoln did not believe the negro could assimilate into the American society. Lincoln, all the way back when in the senate pushed for a colonization of the negro back to Africa and to the Caribbean.
So, for all those people who thought Lincoln was such a hero to the black man should spend a lil time reading history. Lincoln by today's standards would have been a white racist bigotted honky looking to purge America.
I dunno, juss sayin y'all.
“all we ask is to be let alone”
...so we can keep people in bondage... :\
Not a fellow I would venerate.
